Bug ID: 165716
Summary: Change tracking has some bad UI interactions
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.1.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
With Record Changes and Show Changes enabled, several small problems occur, I
think all due to deleted text treated as if it has not been deleted.
One example is if you delete text after the leading capital of a word and
insert other text with the first letter of the new word capitalised: if you
trigger auto complete, your leading capital is changed to lower case.
E.g. Changing The into She will result in she:
The longed for ->
She longed for -> (S replacing T)
she longed for (Writer changes S to s because it saw: "TShe ")
Similarly, if the first character replaced would be at the start of a word due
to deleting text to its left, and you type a single or double quote, smart
quotes turn it into an end quote instead an open quote, since the deleted text
is still in a sense there.
And if you delete a word and replace it with a new one (so the deleted text is
adjacent to the new text), the new word won't be found with a search if Whole
Word is enabled (because the deleted text is considered part of the new word).
I have a feeling there are more: it also interferes with spell checks, I
recall, seeing the deleted text as still present.
This is not new in 25.2: the behaviour has been there as long as I can
remember. It's a minor annoyance that tends to cause errors if you don't stay
alert.
